A lot of heroes need things they don't have — usually vehicles, weapons, or sometimes money. And then there are villains, who want things they don't have, such as vehicles, weapons, or money. But despite the fact that they often get these things through what can only be described as theft, they often don't see it as stealing, or at least they don't want to admit it. So what do they say when confronted about it? "I didn't steal it. I borrowed it." Sometimes they will casually add that they borrowed without asking. Sometimes they'll add that they borrowed it permanently. Sometimes they genuinely tried/wanted to give it back, but it usually remains borrowed for quite some time. Children's media also often has the Stock Aesop that "borrowing without asking" is functionally identical to theft. Sub-Trope to Insistent Terminology. Related to Hero Stole My Bike and Fell Off the Back of a Truck. Compare "Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word, "Not Illegal" Justification, and Less Embarrassing Term. Also see How Did You Get It?. |

Sherlock inverts this in "A Scandal in Belgravia". Sherlock says that if he wanted to look at naked women, he'd borrow John's computer. John retorts that Sherlock does borrow it. Sherlock then states, "I confiscate it." | |

Genshin Impact: the Traveller and Venti return the Holy Lyre der Himmel to the Church after stealing it in order to use it to save Mondstadt, but sadly in a broken condition, much to the distress of Barbara who receives it from them, thinking that Barbatos would never forgive her for the Lyre's condition, not knowing Venti is her god Barbatos, and is the one responsible for it breaking in the first place. Venti does feel extremely uncomfortable about this. | |

The Simpsons: A Running Gag throughout the series is Homer "borrowing" various items from Ned Flanders, without ever giving them back. "Lisa's First Word" reveals that Homer's first interaction with Ned (eight years ago) was asking to borrow his brand new TV tray, which he still has to this day. "Bull-E" has this as a major plot point. Rod and Todd ask Ned why Homer never gives back the items he borrows; this leads Ned to realize that Homer is just a bully who's taking advantage of them. |

Harry Potter: Goblins offer an interesting cultural take on the concept. As master craftspeople, goblin-made objects are highly coveted by wizards, and they often become family heirlooms. The caveat is that goblins consider the true owner of an object to be the one who created it, and the purchaser as merely "renting" it. As Bill Weasley warns Harry when he embarks on a plan involving a particularly valuable goblin creation: | |

It's borrowing, according to Sam, because instead of simply driving away with it, he pounded on Pop's door at 4:00 in the morning to apprise him, "Hey, Pop, we've got your truck!" then driving off before Pop can stop him. | |

One night, two Twiddlebugs named Tilly and Titus find Ernie's bandana and decide to take it, but bring it back to him after the fair ends, since they only take things that have been lost and forgotten long ago. Sure enough, when Ernie tries to play cowboy the next day, he is unable to find his bandana even though he looks everywhere. Fortunately for him, Tilly and Titus return his bandana the following night. | |

Back to the Future: Marty does this twice over the course of the trilogy. In the first movie, he snatches a kid's wood crate scooter (but not before tearing the top part off to make an improvised skateboard) to escape from Biff and his goons. He returns the board after he maneuvers Biff into the manure truck. In the next film, he repeats this act in the future with a little girl's hoverboard, though this time he's told he can keep it, as the girl has made off with Griff's "Pit Bull" model hoverboard, which she apparently considers a step up. When Doc explains to Marty his plan to use a train to push the Delorean to the speed necessary for time travel in Back to the Future Part III, he puts it like this: "We're going to hijack... borrow... the locomotive.." |

Animorphs: The main characters are occasionally forced to steal things from innocent civilians in their guerrilla war against Puppeteer Parasites — most often clothes, since their shape-shifting abilities only work in thin leotards, which aren't great for blending in. They do try to later pay back what they took. Their Sixth Ranger David, however... | |

Marisa Kirisame from Touhou Project always justifies her kleptomaniac habits with the statement that she's not stealing; she's borrowing them until she dies. Of course, that's ignoring the fact that she's looking for ways to become immortal. | |

VeggieTales: In "The Star of Christmas", Calvis talks his reluctant partner Milward into stealing the titular star for their play by saying they're only "borrowing" it. In the sequel, after their Heel–Face Turn, he tries to use this logic to justify shutting down Mr. Nezzer's factory by taking a machine piece, albeit for altruistic intentions this time. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: "Life of Crime" has Mr. Krabs tell SpongeBob that it's appropriate to borrow anything without asking so long as it's returned before the owner finds out it was borrowed. The same episode later had SpongeBob and Patrick "borrowing" a balloon from a balloon seller and planning on giving it back later. However, it then pops, causing the two to panic and think of themselves as thieves. Later in the episode, it's revealed that it was Free Balloon Day. In "Squid's Visit", SpongeBob wants Squidward to visit his house, so he asks Patrick if Squidward ever visited his house. Patrick tells him that Squidward only visited his house once, to take back some things he borrowed. He then suggests to SpongeBob that he should borrow something of Squidward's, so Squidward will have to come over to get it back. Following Patrick's advice, SpongeBob borrows Squidward's vacuum cleaner, and when Squidward notices, he calls SpongeBob to ask why he stole his vacuum cleaner. SpongeBob tells Squidward that he didn't steal it, he borrowed it. |

In the Doctor Who episode "The Big Bang", the Doctor claims he "borrowed" the TARDIS. This is at least partly to give Amy a buried memory of the TARDIS keyed to the Old, New, Borrowed and Blue rhyme. It's eventually Lampshaded by the TARDIS herself in "The Doctor's Wife"; "Borrowing implies the intent to return the thing that was taken. And what makes you think that I would ever give you back?" | |

In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Cap and Black Widow are on the run and take a road trip to New Jersey in search of answers. Widow is surprised that Captain America knows how to steal a car, but he gives the very pragmatic answer that he—y'know, used to fight a war in Nazi Germany. He also corrects her with this trope; they borrowed the car. He's still The Cape, after all. | |

The very first episode of Pokémon: The Series has Ash meeting Misty this way when he borrows her bike to rush Pikachu to the Pokémon Center. He never gets the chance to return it since the bike is accidentally destroyed by Pikachu's electric attack. It is for this reason that Misty joins Ash in his travels, insisting that he needs to pay her back for the bike, which never gets fulfilled until the Grand Finale of Master Quest. | |

Flight Rising: Ridgeback dragons have an entire culture around stealing resources by using tunnels and traps to secure whatever they need, which they consider "borrowing" much to the annoyance of other dragons. If caught, they usually just shrug it off and insist that they would've returned it upon being asked. This mindset was developed thanks to living in a desert. | |
